It looks absolutely. Bloody. Massive. [Edit: High chance they're being really disingenuous and only a fraction of that map is playable.] The beta was fantastic, and it felt pretty dang big. Based on this map, it looks like the beta was probably 1/10th of the game. Maybe less.
Then somebody asked is exactly what I was thinking:
Yes, DICE. Yes, I am.
Points of interest: They only say the whole city will be 'explorable'. Suggesting all you can do is explore. It could be that story content only covers a smaller portion and there's a lot of empty city. This is fine IMO players can come up with race routes, and they're pretty fun, so in theory there we'll have unlimited races across a huge space.
On top of that, if they've built way more city than necessary, then perhaps the game will get a robust update model (*please be free, please be free*) adding more and more races/story content across the city. Basically it looks ripe for the DLC'ing.

Text version for those on mobile:
Unsure if Map works on mobile.
Then the sub-tweet:
So this isn't even the whole thing.

Explore Glass. The district of Anchor is first up in the interactive 3D map: http://bit.ly/1TpVcPH
Unsure if Map works on mobile.
Then the sub-tweet:
Q: 'Is the whole area playable?'
A: 'The whole city will be explorable. Today we've only shown you the Anchor district, but more will follow.'
So this isn't even the whole thing.
